Size Chart for Babies

When I first started buying baby clothes, there was always an age range on the size tag. As my baby gets older, it seems that tags have transitioned from age ranges to just a single age – for example, 12 months. How do I interpret that? Is that the earliest she’ll wear the outfit? Or should I expect that she won’t fit in to it after 12 months?
Answer:While all manufacturers seem to size their baby clothes differently, one thing is consistent across the board. If there is a single age listed on the tag, that is the maximum age the manufacturer expects your child to fit into the outfit.
Unfortunately, that doesn’t always mean a lot. Since all babies grow at different rates, it’s not uncommon for a 12 month outfit to stop fitting at 6 months; or, some babies may be able to wear a 12 month outfit well into their 16th month.
Generally, it is safe to assume that if a size label reads “12 months,” you can interpret that to be 9-12 months. The same holds true with clothes marked “18 months.” Plan on those outfits fitting from 12-18 months of age.
It’s also not a bad idea to tuck a baby clothes size chart that also includes weights into your wallet; when in doubt, you always have it as a reference.
As a new parent – and especially if you’re a first time parent – your stomach might do flip-flops at the very sight of newborn baby clothes. So small and delicate, they’re adorable and hard to resist.
However, your goal should be to fill your baby’s closet with practical newborn clothes andavoid items that could potentially make your baby uncomfortable or baby clothes that are a waste of money. You also need to consider softness, durability, and safety; at this age, style should be the last thing on your mind.

Skip Designer Baby Clothes

Manufacturers and designers know that baby clothes are hard to resist – and they know that you want to dress your baby in the very best.
But here’s the thing. your baby will grow so fast – and sleep so much – that all those tiny versions of grown up clothes will go to waste; it’s like throwing money out the window.
Save the designer purchases for later on when your baby has grown a bit and will be able to wear them for a longer period of time.
You can visit  babyclothes.about.com to decide your baby’s clothes.
Buying baby clothes is a lot like playing the lottery; you hedge your bets on a number, and hope it’s the right one.
But it doesn’t have to be that way. While it’s true that babies grow really fast, it is possible to buy clothes for them that will fit – at least for now. Use our size and age chart to help determine what size you should buy.
Remember: when in doubt, make your purchase based on weight and height rather than age! It’s always safe to go one size bigger, except in the case of baby sleepwear.

Online Shopping Tips

This informational page is created to help you to order safely when shopping online. You’ll find online shopping fast, hassle free and opens up a whole new world of products and services for you and your family. Go through the topics below to find a smarter, safer way to shop online.
Secure Internet Connections
Industry has developed technology that can scramble sensitive information, such as your credit card number, so that it can be read only by the merchant you are dealing with and your credit card issuer. This ensures that your payment information cannot be read by anyone else or changed along the way. There are several ways to determine if you have that protection when you are sending payment information on the web.
Look for the picture ofLook the unbroken key or closed lock in your browser window. Either one indicates that the security is operative. A broken key or any open lock indicates it is not.
Deal only with those web address which begins with “https:” instead of “http.”
Phone-In Option
Passwords
Do you use different passwords?
Passwords are required at various stages of computer use and web shopping to help assure that someone is not misusing your computer or personal information. If you use a password to log on to your network or computer, use a different password for orders. Some web sites may require you to create a password for future orders. You may want to create a special password for particularly sensitive sites, such as your home banking site.
How did you choose your password?
The best passwords are not your address, birth date, phone number, recognizable words, or even your pet’s name (which might be guessed by someone who has other information about you.). Choose a string of at least five letters, numbers, and punctuation marks. One easy way to create a memorable password is to take the first letter of each word in an expression or song lyric, and add some numbers and punctuation marks. For example, “tmottobg!5″ is derived from a line in “Take Me Out To The Old Ball Game.”
How should you record your password?
Don’t write down any password near your computer where someone could see it or carry it in your purse or billfold. If you do record it somewhere, reverse the order of the characters or transpose some letters or numbers. That way, someone finding it won’t have discovered your true password.
Who wants to know your password or other identifying information? 
Be very careful about responding to an e-mail, phone call, fax, or letter from anyone who asks for your password(s), social security number, birth date, bank account, credit card number, mother’s maiden name, or other personal information. Sellers and financial institutions do not ask you for such information unless you are entering into a transaction with them.

Identity thieves make up emails that look remarkably like real websites. If you receive an inquiry for personal information, do not reply directly. To verify that the person contacting you really does work for the seller, call and request to speak to that person directly You should only have to provide your password to get to your online account, and you should not give your credit card number except when you are actually placing an order.

And you should only give your password and credit card number in a secure connection on a web site, not in ordinary e-mail. 
Payment

You may save money by using a credit card if you pay it off in full when the bill arrives. If you do this instead of paying the seller immediately, you will have the money in your bank account, earning interest, until your credit card bill for those payments comes due. Remember that if you pay only the required minimum amount and leave the balance unpaid, you will have to pay interest (which will be called “finance charge” on your bill). And if you keep paying only the minimum amount each month, you will be paying a lot of interest over many years.
Some credit card issuers grant you extended warranties or other advantages for purchases made with the card.
You have greater legal protection against your seller if the goods are defective and, in some cases, if your credit card number is used without your authorization. However, both MasterCard and VISA now promise $zero liability for some unauthorized use of debit cards on the Internet. Other card issuers may offer the same protection.
About the Seller
First check the seller’s reputation
You might feel safer dealing with companies you already know and trust. If you’re not familiar with the name and reputation of a company-and especially if a seller has sent you an unsolicited e-mail message (“spam”)-find out more before you buy. With a click you can check a company’s reputation by contacting the Better Business Bureau atbbbonline.org 
or the Office of the State Attorney General in your state or the state where the seller is located. You may access these at naag.org, the website of the National Association of Attorneys General.
Also, consumers can search for businesses that qualify for the BBBOnline Seal
Seller’s Address
Will the seller be at the same web address tomorrow?
With a physical store or a catalog, you know where to turn if you run into problems. But in cyberspace, all you may have is a web address. Look on the site for a street address and phone number or do a web search on the seller. Be wary if the seller’s only contact information is a post office box.
International Buying
Are you buying from someone located outside the U.S.?
Since it’s the World Wide Web, sellers might well be located in other countries. If so, you might not have the same legal rights, or be able to enforce your rights as easily, as when the seller is located in the United States.
Company Experience
Does it matter if the seller has experience selling the product?
The law generally gives you more protection when you buy an item from a seller who regularly sells those items.
Authorized Seller
Is the company an authorized seller?
You may get better warranty service if you buy from an authorized seller. How do you know who’s authorized? You can call the manufacturer of the product you’re interested in, or visit the manufacturer’s web site to check if the operator of the site has been authorized to sell the manufacturer’s product.
Still Selling
Is the seller still in business?
You may wish to telephone or send an e-mail to be sure the seller is still in operation, particularly if the web site’s material appears to be old or out of date.
About the Product
First of all, the website should be reliable.
If you found a latest posted laptop was only $99 with the best features, but when you clicked, it was turned to $999, additionally, the feature was different. Obviously, you should drop the web and find another one.
Second, the website should have clear layout and true features.
Clear layout can help us to see which products we need more quickly. The features should be consistent with the real products.
Last but not least, the web should provide all the conveniences for shoppers.

You can ask any of your Facebook friends’ to comment on the product or email your colleagues about the, price, description etc so they can help you make that decision easily. Moreover on the shopping website you come across reviews, ratings and suggestion from customers that are really handy to buying online.
Search all products carefully and see the colors, especially in the case of bases and corrective, as these must be in the same choice of yours.
Research the average prices in search engines, with the speed of the internet to search for good deals and reviews is much faster than go all the shopping, so you can always look for the best prices like Google Product Search , Nextag,Merchantland.com.
Terms of Delivery

Choose the best form of payment, but it is noteworthy that payments made ​​via credit card are allowed faster, ie, the faster this confirmation, the faster the product will be sent.
It is always better to find out about the taxes and shipping fees associated with the product you intend to buy. This amount will not be included in the cost of the product; so you wouldn’t want to end up with unnecessary confusion in the end. Find out how long it will take for the product to reach you, and if the online shopping store has a return policy. You will never know when you will find some flaws in the product, and have a need to return the product because of damages or wrong size.
If you want to save money, and receive the required product as soon as possible, then it is better to order from a store that is in your country. Comparing prices from multiple stores may help you save money. You may find some other store offering the same product at lower price. There are also sites that offer low shipping fees.

Trust your instincts. If you don’t feel comfortable buying or bidding on an item over the web, or if you feel pressured to place your order immediately, maybe you shouldn’t.
Be knowledgeable about web-based auctions. Take special care to familiarize yourself not only with the rules and policies of the auction site itself but with the legal terms (warranties, refund policy, etc.) of the seller’s items that you wish to bid on.
Double check pricing. Be suspicious of prices that are too good to be true. Also consider carefully whether you may be paying too much for an item, particularly if you’re bidding through an auction site. You may want to comparison shop, online or offline, before you buy. Make sure there are not extra shipping or handling costs.
Find and read the privacy policy. Read the privacy policy carefully to find out what information the seller is gathering from you, how the information will be used, and how you can stop the process. If a site does not have a privacy policy posted, you may not want to do business with it. If it does have a privacy policy, there will probably be a link to it from the seller’s home page, or it could be included with the Legal Terms.
Review the return, refund, and shipping and handling policies as well as the other legal terms . If you can’t find them, ask the seller through an e-mail or telephone call to indicate where they are on the site or to provide them to you in writing. See Legal Terms.
Make sure the Internet connection is secure. Before you give your payment information, check for indicators that security software is in place. See Security.
Use the safest way to pay on the Internet. Pay for your order using a credit card. See Payment.
Print the terms. You should print out and date a copy of terms, conditions, warranties, item description, company information, even confirming e-mails, and save them with your records of your purchase. See Recordkeeping.
Insure the safe delivery of your item. If you’re concerned you may not be home when your package is delivered and that someone may take it if it is left on the doorstep, ask whether you can specify that the shipper must receive a signature before leaving the package. Or, it may be safer to have the package delivered to your office. See Delivery.
Inspect your purchase. Look at your purchase carefully as soon as you receive it. Contact the seller as soon as possible if you discover a problem with it. Tell the seller in writing about any problems you have, ask for a repair or refund, and keep a copy of your correspondence. See Legal Terms.

In a store, like a jewelry shop, or an apparel store, when you enter the store you have a image of the product you want to purchase. But you are mostly guided by the sales person in purchasing a product which usually is not your choice. Since any store has limited space to store products , the sales person usually shows only the product which fetches maximum commission for the sales person or only the products which the shop can store . Hence your choice is very restricted or at times zero. Since you have already spent much of your valuable time in searching for the product of your choice, but still you have to settle down with something somewhat close to your choice. Hence ultimately you don’t get the product you want.
